Thanks to everybody responsible for putting the word out my son is safe…

Scarface, whose real name is Brad Terrence Jordan, shot to fame as a member of the Houston-based Geto Boys, who helped put Southern hip-hop on the map with their often-controversial lyrics. Their 1991 hit, “Mind Playing Tricks on Me,” is considered one of rap’s most influential songs.

Scarface also made a name for himself as a solo act and a music executive with the label Def Jam South. See the gallery below of Scarface and other rap stars of Houston’s Rap-A-Lot Records.
